## #19629 — Lukas Smith — 2005-10-16T13:35:37+00:00

14 Oct 2005, PHP 5.1 Release Candidate 2
- Changed SQLite extension to be a shared module in Windows 
distribution. (Edin)

Whats the reason for this?
To allow people to switch between sqlite2 and sqlite3?

Shouldnt the extension then be enabled by default in the php.ini-dist 
and php.ini-recommended files on windows? It does not seem to be the 
case in the current snaps zips.

regards,
Lulas

It's a linkage/dependency problem; ext/sqlite holds the sqlite2 PDO
driver, and PDO is a shared extension.

If we enable any of *.dll in php.ini by default, PHP installation won't work anymore out-of-the-box.
Because it'll _require_ setting extension_dir too.

Whats the problem requiring that they set this? Most people do anyways 
.. no?

Either way if we don't then we need to make it clear in the changelog 
that this means that sqlite needs to be enabled manually.

Only if they really need it.
